Silver vs Gold Tequila
00:00:57
Speaker
Now for our fun fact of the day. Have you ever wondered what the difference is between silver tequila and gold tequila? I mean, besides 50 bucks. That's probably an exaggeration. Okay. Silver tequila, also known as Blanco, is tequila in its purest form.
00:01:14
Speaker
It's bottled immediately after distillation, so it keeps a clear color and a pure agave flavor. Gold tequila, on the other hand, is typically aged in oak barrels, sometimes is artificially colored with caramel flavoring, which gives it that warm hue and smoother, sweeter taste. If you want the real good stuff, look for the 100% agave on the bottle. And here's something most people don't
Champagne vs Tequila Debate
00:01:39
Speaker
know. Real tequila can only be produced in five specific regions of Mexico, mainly Jalisco, kind of like how real champagne has to come from Champagne, France.
00:01:51
Speaker
I have to say I'm probably more of a champagne person than a tequila person. Nothing good comes after a tequila shot.

Speaker
I don't know. They're both silver foxes. I think acting-wise, I think I like more stuff that Jeff Goldblum is in. So yeah I'm going to have to go with him. I really like him in Wicked, too. so Yes. He is good in Wicked. I don't know. I might have to go with George Clooney, though. He's just – I don't know. He makes a good espresso commercial, I guess. And trying to think of what else he's been in, but. um Ocean's Eleven. Oh, yes. Yes. He's really good in those. Yes. And then a bunch of rom-coms, you know. Yeah.
